Calp City Council has filed a motion to reopen proceedings against a decision by the Valencian Antifraud Authority finding the existence of irregularities in the award of a contract for a tourism promotional event that took place in the city in 2019. The city defends that the process is in accordance with the law and argues that in preparing the final decision, the authority overlooked the allegations raised by the municipal body in its defence.
Calp is finalising the specifications for the tender of the street cleaning service and the household waste collection service, one of the most economically important contracts for the municipality due to its size and impact, which aims to make Calp a benchmark for cleanliness and sustainability. The specifications will be discussed in the plenary session scheduled for next week.
Calp City Council, through the Citizen Participation Department, has launched a telematic survey to find out citizens' preferences and needs regarding leisure activities in the municipality.
The survey asks citizens if they are aware of the activities that the Town Council organises, if they correspond to their interests or needs, if they have participated in the past and what kind of activity they would like to see first from the Town when we return to a situation of normality, among other questions.
Calp has created a lookout point in the middle of the Serra d'Oltà mountains that offers an impressive view of the town's bay. The viewpoint is right next to the campsite and a bench has been installed so that walkers who come here can enjoy the spectacular scenery at their leisure and take advantage of the start of the Easter holidays.
Municipal workers have cleared the area and created this spot, which is set to become one of the most photographed corners in the city.
It has been a century since one of the most important figures in Spanish cinema was born in Valencia: Luis García Berlanga, and Calp is joining the celebrations with a film cycle that includes four of the director's most important films.
The films will be shown in the Saló Blau with free admission; however, registration is required to comply with capacity control and the required security clearance.
The Diputación de Alicante (Provincial Council), through the Provincial Investment and Financing Plan (Planifica), will finance the works for the urbanisation of section 6 of Vial J in the municipality of Calp, an infrastructure that has a tender budget of 1.7 million euros, of which the municipality will provide 430,900 euros, 35% of the estimated amount, and the City Council 1,277,000 euros, 65%.
Press statement by the Mayor of Calp, Ana Sala:
This year the Fallas have had to adapt to the Coronavirus pandemic, but they are still very present for the Falleros of the city and for the Generalitat Valenciana (regional government), which has paid special attention to the organisation and security of the festive events. Although the 2021 celebrations have been postponed and the new date has not yet been set, the Consell has ensured that Valencia's March can be enjoyed with diverse and varied online activities.
Calp City Council is celebrating "Tree Day" with the planting of 120 specimens in the Botanical Gardens. This is an initiative of the Rotary Club of Calpe Ifach, joined by Calp City Council through the Education, Environment and Gardens Departments.
The first of the two planned plantings took place this morning, in collaboration with the I.E.S. Ifach Horticulture Training Cycle, which has been transforming the Calp Botanical Garden into a natural space to enjoy outdoors since the course began.
